After an introduction on recent efforts in extracting information about the early Universe from galaxy clustering surveys and on the "Boostless Cosmological Bootstrap" program, I review recent results and developments in this program, especially in light of recent measurements of the four-point function of BOSS galaxies.

Multi-messenger data of high energy neutrinos by IceCube and  gamma-rays by Tibet AS-gamma show new signal at 100 TeV energies outside of Galactic plane but below 20 degrees from it. This mysterious signal challenge conventional cosmic ray models, which predict major Galactic signal from Galactic plane and no significant flux at high galactic latitudes, as seen at GeV energies by Fermi LAT telescope.

Here we show that main assumption of continues distribution of cosmic rays in Galaxy is broken at PeV energies. 

I will present selected field theoretical aspects and Bayesian model selection studies in a particular class of modified gravity theories, so-called nonlocal gravity theories. In particular, I will focus on three nonlocal gravity models that have been proposed for explaining the late-time acceleration of the expansion of the universe and have been shown to provide a statistically equivalent fit to LCDM given recent cosmological data.

Abstract. I’ll show the analysis we perform on gravitational microlensing signatures and how we estimate gravitational microlensing parameters to obtain information about several components of the dark matter in our galaxy like free-floating planets, brown dwarfs, primordial black holes, making use of actual and future space-based telescopes: Euclid, THESEUS, Gaia, Roman, etc.

Next week we will be welcoming François Larrouturou (DESY Hamburg) for the Gravitation group seminar. 
The seminar will take place in person, in room 371A-Klein (the zoom link can be found below) next Monday, July 11 at 10:00. 

François will give an introduction to: 

Title : Minimalism as guideline to construct new paradigms.
